Can someone explain bountys to me?

If I die, bounty is still active.

If I surrender, do I lose all my cash?

Yeah it’s pretty stupid, if you die then the bounty is still active. I’d have thought the guy who killed you collects the bounty and you’re wanted level decreases – like in GTA if you have 4 stars, you die, but when you wake up the stars are gone.
 
You can go to a post office and pay the bounties, I’ve done that once, I had accrued about $200 worth of bounties. Was a bit sickening paying most of my money like that but I was sick of getting attacked by people the whole time.

The whole camp thing is just one massive pain in the hole really. Anything related to the campsite so far in the game for me has been pretty boring.

Have done nothing about upgrading it. Is it worth it?

On the pacing, I am actually really enjoying it. It's a different experience than say the new cod, or gta or similar. I think it sets the tone of the world very well. But it's definitely not going to suit everyone

Do you lose all your cash though, if caught?

Or just what you owe them?

I don’t think they ever ‘catch’ you , per say. But I could be wrong. Anytime they’ve been near me they’ve just been trying to blow my head off.

Something i couldn't figure out last night.

I killed a deer, brought it back to the camp to donate for food etc. However, I couldn't see how to do this. Brought it to the butcher's area, couldn't put it down (square to drop). Anywhere slightly outside of this area, it would drop.

However, it would respawn me into a different area in the camp, and a message would pop up saying that the meat would be stashed in a convenient place or something along those lines

When bringing a pelt or carcass to a butcher you don't need to take it off your horse, it will show up in the Sell inventory

Anyone want to tell me why I unlocked the better Schofield revolver before I got the double action?

I had just spent well over a grand upgrading the tent and some auld one pulled me over and said she noticed I had stopped contributing to the box. Cheeky bitch!

Same thing happened me. Pity you can’t use weapons in camp :pac:

They can definitely 'catch you', if you can call it that, you can surrender and they throw you in a cell for a bit.

Interesting. Does the bounty still apply when you get out? How the hell do I go about surrendering before they blow my head off?

I think you can only surrender if you dont have a gun drawn or it might pop up as a D-Pad specific option, it did for me when I got into a fight in Valentine and only had a $5 bounty on my head.

Have you done the mission with Micah @Strawberry?

Yep the less violent the better. You can also do it by finding a Lawman and antagonising them until they draw weapon. Then you can surrender.

you can bring it to Pearson (chef) and a button will pop up "Donate"

Don't know if this has been posted here yet but i found this very helpful

The trek for that horse is well worth it...



Super stats and the white coat look sweet. Bit weak though so avoid firefights on horseback.

Where to find it...

Four word review.

All beauty. No brains.

This is a stunning game but there is so much wrong with the fundamentals, it sucks the fun out of most of it.

The bounty system is so poorly designed. Too easy to get a fine and that’s an hour of playing for cash gone.

The NPCs are idiotic. A guy literally walked into my horse. Now I’m wanted for murder.

No hints on how to do simple things. I’ve had to go to YouTube and watch 5 tutorials on the basics. I don’t need a poker demo. Explain the camp fundamentals. Bringing a carcass to camp is silly.

The number of timed I have robbed people with no NPC anywhere only for one to see you.

Clunky character movement and boring character progression doesn’t help.

I think the most damning thing...it’s just not fun.

Was out and about this afternoon and did something I haven't been inclined to do for many a year.......enter a shop and pay full whack for a newly released game! The more I read about this over the weekend, the less I could resist!

It depends on the crime you commit.If you get done for murder they will shoot.

But if it's just assault they'll come arrest you.

Calltocall

So I’m a few days in and overall I’m disappointed, a stunning looking game, but it’s just not sucking me in and lacks as someone else stated fun, it feels very controlled, loads of cut scenes which interfere with getting lost in the game, movement is painfully slow, I’m skeptical of 97% reviews online bs many critics are afraid to criticize.

turning off hdr actually improves how it looks on the pro. Funny how my mind was conditioned to think turning it on was the right thing to do, only after seeing comments online and disabling I noticed the improvement.

Just walked past Lenny in the camp and he said

"That night in Valentine were we really slapping each other in the face?"

This was weeks ago, delivery was perfect, still chuckling.

I get why people don't like it but what it does well it does very well. Sometimes you're just not into the world it's set in.

Jerichoholic

Is it really murder if some complete egat walks out in front of my horse and I don't see him? Had to quickly restart the game to avoid that one. A little annoying.

Just came across two dudes trying to open a safe. The safe was bugged sitting a couple feet off the ground so I couldn't open it... Grrr

I cam across those lads as well, shot them as I saw one of them going for his gun, but couldn't open the safe. Thought it was because I intervened too early and Arthur can't open safes.

Dynamite opened it for me

My game has glitches and is preventing me from buying newspapers off any of the vendors. Really annoying.

Or maybe there are none available? That’s what I always assumed when I couldn’t buy any, but perhaps you’re right in saying it’s glitched.

Having way too much fun to care about that issue though.

Sad Professor

I have a possible glitch where the map legend appears by default every time i go to the map. I turn it off every time but it still appears when I go back. Only restarting the game fixes it.

Another annoyance for the list, you set up camp and you wake up miles away from where you set it up :mad:
